Hadith 16033

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي إِحْدَى صَلَاتَيْ الْعَشِيِّ : الظُّهْرِ أَوْ الْعَصْرِ ، وَهُوَ حَامِلٌ الْحَسَنَ أَوْ الْحُسَيْنَ ، فَتَقَدَّمَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعَهُ ، ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ، فَصَلَّى ، فَسَجَدَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ صَلَاتِهِ سَجْدَةً أَطَالَهَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي ، فَإِذَا الصَّبِيُّ عَلَى ظَهْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ ، فَرَجَعْتُ فِي سُجُودِي ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الصَّلَاةَ ، قَالَ النَّاسُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّكَ سَجَدْتَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْ صَلَاتِكَ هَذِهِ سَجْدَةً قَدْ أَطَلْتَهَا ، فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَدَثَ أَمْرٌ ، أَوْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ يُوحَى إِلَيْكَ , قَالَ : " فَكُلُّ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ ، وَلَكِنَّ ابْنِي ارْتَحَلَنِي ، فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أُعَجِّلَهُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Had that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out for one of the prayers, either Zuhr or Asr, carrying either Imam Hasan or Imam Husayn. He advanced and seated the child to one side, then pronounced the takbir and began the prayer. When he went into prostration, he prolonged it greatly. I raised my head in between and saw that the child was riding on the back of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in prostration. Seeing this, I returned to prostration. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer, the people said: O Messenger of Allah! Today you made the prostration in this prayer very long. We thought perhaps some incident had occurred or revelation was being sent down to you. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Nothing of the sort happened, but my son mounted on my back, and I did not wish to hurry him until he had fulfilled his desire.
